Jason Kelce Receives Bold Challenge After Olympics Hijinks
After Jason Kelce charmed fans with his fun adventures at the Paris Olympics hanging out with the U.S. women's rugby team, the retired football player received an interesting challenge from a surprising person.
At one point during the Olympics, Kelce participated in a good-natured arm wrestling match against rugby player Nicole Heavirland, which he won—although fans questioned his technique.
Now, professional arm wrestler Devon Larratt, who has dominated the sport for many years, is challenging Kelce to a match.
Larratt spoke with TMZ to propose the match, saying, "If he's looking for problems, please allow me to introduce myself."
He went on, "Normally, I don't make such offers. But the way he handled that Olympic girl there, I think he's ready." Though he did have some notes for Kelce over how he handled his match against Heavirland, explaining that one move might've gotten him disqualified from a real match.
Larratt even gave Kelce a place and time for a possible match with him, noting that the EAST vs WEST Armwrestling Promotion would be in Orlando, Florida, on Aug. 10.
Heavirland shared a clip of the fun match against Kelce on Instagram on July 28, with the two putting up quite the battle before Kelce came out on top.
Fans were completely floored by the video, with comments like, "THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN," and "You are iconic for this ??."
"The public demands a rematch on @newheightshow," suggested a third, and who knows, the U.S. women's rugby team might just make an appearance on Kelce's podcast when it returns later this year.
Kelce sparked a strong friendship with the women during his time at the Olympics, with his wife Kylie Kelce by his side. Fans particularly loved his interactions with Ilona Maher, with Kelce even wearing a custom shirt with her face on it.
